So our first day at Universal/IOA (2/15), the park will be closing at 6pm. We need something to fill our evening!! We have two kids, 7 and 10...who love good food/live entertainment....and don't want to be back in a hotel early on the first night of vacation! Ideally, a nice dinner in an entertaining environment. I've read all of the menus, we can find something we like at any of them....but I'm looking for something that can provide entertainment as well. I suspect we'll be ready to be back in our rooms by 9pm so that we can be up early for WWHP!!!
There are no Mardi Gras concerts while we are there, so that is not an option.
First question: The page for Mythos list their hours as "lunch". Do you think we can get a sitting around 6pm, or do they close the restaurants at the same time as the park? The place looks fun!
We are staying at Royal Pacific, so we can eat at the resort or somewhere at City Walk.....but what can we do for entertainment?!?! We aren't going all the way to Florida to go to a movie and we've already seen Blue Man Group.
Are there venues at City Walk that have live music around the dinner hours that will allow the kids (we would be out by 9pm at least)? Most of what I've seen on the website makes the music look after-hours and adult only....and we certainly aren't looking to take our kids clubbing!
Does Royal Pacific have evening entertainment? The luau isn't going on during our stay there (Wed-Fri), and the restaurants aren't as appealing....but are there activities planned at the resort? I doubt we'll be up for an evening swim (brrrr).
How do you fill your evenings??
Thanks for any/all advice.....obviously this is our first trip to US/IOA!
